[mythtv-users] mythtv freezes during the buffer change (0.19)

[Jason Mollman]

Mike,

Do you use the pvr-350's decoder for your video out? After the livetv 
changes that were made leading up to .19, there were a number of issues 
related to the 350 and livetv freezing during program changes. If you 
are using the 350's decoder, trying switching to XV as your output 
(unselect "Use x350 Decoder" option in Setup/Playback I believe). See if 
this fixes your freezes. This assumes however that you are using a more 
recent ivtv driver version which includes the reworked X driver.

Also, what ivtv driver version and firmware are you guys using?
